By then, most of us had decided that we liked having her around […] At the same time, we held back. Because she was different. Different (5.16).
Even when the students start to accept Stargirl, they cannot do so completely. Nope, she's just too different. It's like they're caught between their desire to conform and their desire to let loose, like Stargirl. Which desire is more powerful?
